a fake-cation

This past weekend, we didn't have much going on for once, and it was rainy, rainy, rainy.   A few months ago, we bid on some items at a silent auction at the boys' school and we had the winning bid on a basket filled with goodies, including a hotel stay at an Embassy Suites down the road.

We thought it would be a fun family sleepover, since the boys LOVE staying at hotels.  And with it being just down the street it was a getaway that involved very little planning, pretty much just throwing some undies in a bag and going.

It turned out to be a really fun evening... some indoor pool action, ordering pizza, watching hours of Discovery Channel about the Secret Service while munching on Sour Patch Kids, sleeping 'family style' in two queen beds, and enjoying a delish breakfast buffet in the morning before heading home.

The only problem was Dylan's snoring.  Well, it wasn't exactly snoring.  I think he has some seasonal allergies going on, and as Andrew put it, it sounded like he was eating a badger all night.   But besides that, we had a fantastic fake-cation!
